    They do, but plenty use the DLR every day http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docklands_Light_Railway

  3. Re:Waiting.. on Apple Awarded Patent For iPhone Interface · · Score: 1

    It's a real problem, there will be varying implementations of touch interfaces unless apple licenses it. And apple don't license

  4. Re:FACTS, not "truth". on Britannica Goes After Wikipedia and Google · · Score: 3, Informative

    Wiki rarely lets facts get in the way http://www.stattenfield.com/keith/blog/2006/08/09/theres-must-be-a-lot-of-wrong-atude-in-wikipedia/ I'm sure there must be other examples, but how would you ever know?

    It is food, I'm 41

  6. Hello Moto on Qt Becomes LGPL · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Let's hope Motorola sign up. Their UI is consistently inconsistent and awful

  7. Re:If only... on Chrome On the Way For Mac and Linux · · Score: 1

    I use google talk every day on a Mac, I assume it's IM you're talking about and I use it via Adium

  8. Re:A firm date from Google? on Chrome On the Way For Mac and Linux · · Score: 1

    No, neither is Chrome a browser... It's a 'run time environment' Protected memory...

    The IRA are not loyalist

  10. Re:Flamebait +1 on The Technology Behind the Magic Yellow Line · · Score: 2, Funny

    I believe the game under discussion is known as hand egg

  11. Re:Really? on Apple's Life After Steve Jobs · · Score: 1

    So if Jobs couldn't have done it any better, and I tend to agree, what is the point of TFA? It's a total none, there is no point

  12. Really? on Apple's Life After Steve Jobs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How did Tuesdays Keynote illustrate 'how difficult it will be for any of those guys to replace Jobs.'? Just a bloggers opinion, nothing to see here, please move along

  13. Re:Poor Headline on New York Times Sued Over URL Linking · · Score: 1

    sold it for free.

    Try giving it away instead and then see what happens

  14. Re:Sorry Motorola on RIM Accuses Motorola of Blocking Job Offers · · Score: 1

    Motorola have been pissed off and loosing money since CHRP didn't happen. http://www.convergence.org/platforms/chrp/main.html The company is dieing. All they have left is poor handsets with a dreadful GUI... Should have stayed in semi-conductors http://www.freescale.com/

  17. Quake? on New Japanese Mobile Phones Detect Motion · · Score: 1

    That's Earth Quake, surely the Japanese would find motion detection more useful for that. There would even be a market for them in California

  18. Re:What about "Independance Day" on Usability in the Movies -- Top 10 Bloopers · · Score: 1

    I did mention Independance Day. What a surprise, another slashdotter who can't be bothered to read the whole thread. Is it any wonder I hardly ever post?

  19. Re:Access Denied on Usability in the Movies -- Top 10 Bloopers · · Score: 1

    That's exactly what I mean. Nice link :)

    I have the CSI plug in for Photoshop, don't you? :)

  21. Access Denied on Usability in the Movies -- Top 10 Bloopers · · Score: 1

    The biggest gaff of all has to be in Independance Day, bringing down the alien Mother Ship with a virus uploaded from a Powerbook. I don't remember the UI but it wasn't a flavour of Mac OS. The best use of 'Access Denied' was in Lawnmower Man

  22. Re:FF 2 locks on me constantly on Nine Reasons To Skip Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I installed yesterday, three crashes in the first hour and a few lock ups, I started using Safari, the performance was that bad. No sign of the memory leak though on my ancient T-book. Can't stand tabs, so I switched 'em off anyway and FF2 crashed while writing this :( Most of my mac using buddies use Opera...
